album: "Destroy The Machines" (1995)

Humanity devours itself alive.
Forced march down this path of sorrow to an end that doesn't justify. Hands
chained, running driven upon those that fall they tread.
Conditioned by a warped value system to not look back, just push
ahead. Lives of excess, lust and material greed.
A slave to their own desires, apathetic to those in need. Devoid of love no
peace inside. Blinded by their manic greed.
Thoughts consumed with the thoughts of the worthless.
This is their reality.
Devoid of love no peace inside. Blinded by their manic greed.
Thoughts consumed with the thoughts of the worthless.
This is their reality.
I have to free myself from all this madness in my struggle to survive.
As time progresses time reveals the
answers. At last I break through the surface and come to life.
Minds filled with turmoil, nothing pacifies. Forced march down
this path of sorrow to an end that doesn't justify.
Hands chained, running driven upon those that fall they tread.
Conditioned by a warped value system to not look back, just push ahead.
Lives of excess, lust and material greed. A slave to
their own desires, apathetic to those in need.
Devoid of love no peace inside. Blinded by their manic greed. Thoughts
consumed with the thoughts of the worthless.
This is their reality.

Strength. Born from pain. Beyond that of my flesh.
Betrayed, robbed and beaten, but not defeated. Through my
search for allies, I have found myself.
Persistence is the answer to regain all that was taken.
Hatred drives me onwards
across to desolation of dying dreams and failure,
to find I am my own salvation. From the experience of injustice, from the
horror that I have witnessed comes the knowledge that freedom must be won.
Strangled by frustration, no longer will I be my
victim. My patience is whaning, now all it takes is one spark to set me off. I have to try to find some peace and hold that
peace inside before it gets to late.
Emancipate my mind. Breathing life into my visions,
forcing them into reality.
From paradise into the inferno, into paradise, into paradise.

Destroy the machines that kill the forests, that disfigure the earth.
Ecotage when efforts to reason
fail and no longer have worth.
Direct action is the only choice when wild lands are faced with destruction. Now is the time
for counter-aggression. With every day that passes the assault
on nature accelerates. For the industrial nations' excessive
ways this world they devastate.
Every biome on every continent in under man's attack.
With everything to lose we've drawn the
line to hold them back. New bridges,
roads and dams pave the way to develop what wilderness remains.
All must be prevented or
destroyed for the wild lands to sustain.
Fighting to save the animals. Their freedom is our peace.
For their habitats
preservation, for the violence against them to cease.
Earth liberation through ecodefense. To halt the insanity of the yellow
death machines advance.

This is the new ethic.
Animals' lives are their own and must be given respect.
Reject the anthropocentric
falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy of mankind
over the animals. It's time to set them free. Their lives
reduced to biomachines in the factory, farm and laboratory.
Dairy, eggs and meat, fur, suede, wool, leather are the end
products of torture, confinement and murder.
I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life.
Wildlifes' right to
live in peace in their natural environment
without this civilization's interference can no longer be denied.
Must no longer be denied.
To make a civilization worthy of the word civilized the cruelty must end,
starting within or own lives. Reject the
anthropocentric falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy
of mankind over the animals. It's time to set them free.
Veganism is the essence of compassion and peaceful living.
The animals are not ours to abuse or dominate. I abjure their use
out of reverence ... I abjure their use out of reverence ...
I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life.

Straight edge - the discipline.
The key to selfliberation is abstinence from the destructive escapism of
intoxication. I separate from the poison - a mindlessness
I've always abhorred. Usage will only increase the pain, a truth I
constantly see ignored. The pollutants that kill the body breed
apathy within the mind. The substances that once brought
release in the end will always confine.
From drug-clouded lungs and veins motivation dissipates.
Imprisoned within addiction,
abuse increases until death overtakes.
Enslaved by concupiscence, promiscuity leads to despair.
Victims used and abandoned by
liars who professed to care. Self-exiled from their insanity.
Striving to attain higher levels of purity. The beauty in life
is mine to know. Amidst the ruin I survive. I've got to stay free.
Damage everywhere - infections at every turn. Through my
refusal to partake I saved myself. Abstinence was the beginning.
What's important is what's done with the freedom step by
step I overcome. Alone I climb the staircase to edification.
Deliverance- From birth an existence of agony begins that ends
with execution. Intentionally infected with diseases
to then try to find cures for humans. Fractured skulls, broken bones,
scalded flesh and blinded eyes.
For medical research and cosmetic testing animals suffer and die.
Walls conceal the tortured
victims of vivisection. Nothing of value can be gained
for science or medicine when the price is a helpless animal's life.
An animal becomes a subject - their pain a mere reaction.
Harmless testing alternatives ignored - they refuse to end their
profit system. The suffering benefits mankind - the excuse
for demented scientists whose brutalization of the innocent
denegrates humanity's existence. When education
and peaceful protest can't bring their liberation the strategy for their
rescue changes into militant intervention.
Every action has an impact. Every life saved is a victory.
The truth known by the
caring few who wage guerrilla warfare to end this atrocity.
Severed locks, doors wrenched from hinges, the animals deliverance
from torment and captivity. Vivisectionists dragged
into the street and shot as flames engulf the laboratory. Justice's
hammer falls again and again until it ends
when the price is a helpless animal's life.

Destroyed in the hands of the deranged.
Mankind's will has been imposed upon the earth as though we
were alone and if our actions had no consequences.
Man crushes all that bars the way on this path to annihilation.
Taking for themselves while the other inhabitant's
lives are given no consideration.
Inherit the wasteland! Spilled oil contaminates the sea.
Inherit the wasteland! Poisons fill the atmosphere.
Inherit the wasteland! Toxins infect the ground. Inherit the
wasteland! Deforestation scars the earth.
The rainforests burn. Countless animals die.
We must regain control or there will
be nothing left to save. The harmony of nature,
twisted into discordance. Left to die in the aftermath of their destructive
sightlessness. Time is running, time is running,
time is running ... Time is running out.

Dependence consumes. Controlled and distracted by a selfinflicted sickness.
With every breath of the poison the
habit intensifies and the attempt to stop weakens.
Filth smoulders in the ashtray as you draw the vileness into your lungs.
Killing yourself, subjecting others to the air that your smoke defiles.
Cashing in on a cash crop, cashing in on your slow
death for their financial gain.
They create then feed a carcinogenic addiction that leads to selfdestruction. Cancer ravages
the throat and lungs. A diseased heart fails.
The pain was avoidable and yet this insanity is accepted as normal.
The first genuine moments of remorse may be the last seconds of life.
Coughing up blood, gasping for breath. Each one was a nail in
your coffin. Inhale. Asphyxiate.

Night of justice, knight of justice.
Liberation's crusade's begun. Your laws will have no meaning past the
setting of the sun. Demons feeding off of the innocents' pain.
Generations of oppression - one generation will break this
chain. Emancipation from the hands of the deranged.
Vengeance for the dead, freedom for the enslaved.
From love comes this
hatred. Feel the rage, antagonist of the helpless.
Tormented inside a cage. I refuse to turn my back,
I refuse to shut my eyes.
Steadfast against the deluge of evil of man's devise.
The quest for their freedom won't cease until it's won. Reconcile
your sins or your blood will have to run.
You have no respect for life. Violence you can understand.
You turn to fell the pain.
Retribution, from my hand! You have no respect for life.
Violence you can understand. You turn to fell the pain.
Retribution, from my hand! A bullet for every demon.
Only your blood can cleanse you of your sin. Your actions proved that
you value profit over others lives.
Images of your mutilated victims as I line you in my sight.
The wrath of sanity
unleashed. Justice on Judgement Night.

Encircled. Sodom's children on every side.
Feeding their selfishness with no regard for the pain that their
actions bring. Forked tongues spill promises
of release through submission through carnal thoughts.
Their greed or a drug
induced deadened state. Pain awaits the fools who fall prey to the lies.
Time melts their false idols into pools of worthless
lead. Exhume myself from the wreckage to drag my body free.
Crawling through the ashes as their profane creation collapses in
upon itself. Unscatched. I have not partaken.
The X symbolizes my lifetime commitment to live free from their poisons.
I've built myself to last.
Fortress. Time melts their false idols into pools of worthless lead.
Encircled. Sodom's children on every side.
Feeding their selfishness
with no regard for the pain that their actions bring.
